Abstract

The invention relates to a wind turbine. Wind turbines of this type have been known for a long time. They consist of several components, such as a tower, a machine housing mounted thereon, said housing holding the rotor of the wind turbine and the associated generator for producing energy. Whenever wind turbines of this type lie in air traffic zones, i.e. those areas lying in the vicinity of airports, the turbines must be provided with specific signalling devices, so that air traffic can be alerted in good time to the presence of the wind turbine as a large construction. The aim of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of aircraft hazard navigation devices to date. The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a tower and a machine housing mounted thereon, said housing holding a rotor and an associated generator and the wind turbine being equipped with an aircraft hazard navigation device, which generates a light that is visible over long distances, preferably a flashing light. The invention is characterised in that the aircraft hazard navigation device is provided with a cover, which prevents the light of said device from being visible to a great extent from the ground next to the wind turbine between 0 and 2000 m, preferably 0 and 700 m.

Description

GEFAHRENFEUR FÜR WINDTURBINE DANGER FIRE FOR WIND TURBINE
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Windenergieanlage. Solche Windenergieanlagen sind seit langem bekannt. Sie bestehen regelmäßig aus mehreren Komponenten, wie einem Turm, einem darauf gelagerten Maschinenhaus, welches den Rotor der Windener- gieanlage und den damit verbundenen Generator zur Energieerzeugung aufnimmt. Immer dann, wenn solche Windenergieanlagen innerhalb von Flugverkehrszonen liegen, also solchen Gebieten, die unmittelbar in relativer Nähe zu Flughäfen liegen, müssen solche Windenergieanlagen mit bestimmten Signaleinrichtungen versehen werden, damit der Luftverkehr rechtzeitig auf die Existenz der Windenergieanlage als großes Bauwerk aufmerksam gemacht wird.The invention relates to a wind turbine. Such wind turbines have been known for a long time. They regularly consist of several components, such as a tower and a machine house, which houses the rotor of the wind turbine and the associated generator for energy generation. Whenever such wind turbines are located within air traffic zones, i.e. areas that are in direct proximity to airports, such wind turbines must be provided with certain signaling devices so that air traffic is made aware of the existence of the wind turbine as a large structure in good time.
Signaleinrichtungen können auch Farbanstriche der Rotorblätter (insbesondere deren Spitzen) der Windenergieanlage sein.Signal devices can also be paint coats of the rotor blades (in particular their tips) of the wind power plant.
Allgemeine Richtlinien für die Kennzeichnung von Luftfahrthindernissen sind bekannt aus "Nachrichten für Luftfahrer", Teil I, NfL I 15/00, 27. Januar 2000.General guidelines for the marking of aviation obstacles are known from "News for Aviation", Part I, NfL I 15/00, January 27, 2000.
Dort sind auch die verschiedenen Flugbefeuerungseinrichtungen erwähnt. Eine andere Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung ist bekannt aus DE-U-200 08 289.The various flight lighting systems are also mentioned there. Another flight lighting device is known from DE-U-200 08 289.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die bisherigen Nachteile von Flugbefeuerungseinrichtungen zu beseitigen.The object of the invention is to eliminate the previous disadvantages of flight lighting devices.
Die Aufgabe wird bei einer Windenergieanlage mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved in a wind turbine with the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments are described in the subclaims.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Windenergieanlage ist unterhalb der blinkenden Signaleinrichtung eine Abdeckung ausgebildet, die verhindert, dass die Blinkeinrichtung in einem bestimmten Kegel (von der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung gesehen) seitlich der Windenergieanlage vom Erdboden aus gesehen sichtbar ist. Der Kegel hat be- vorzugt eine Breite von wenigstens 45°, bevorzugt aber 90 - 150° oder darüber bis über 180° (Horizontale). Eine solche Abdeckung hindert zwar den Blick auf die Fiugbefeuerungseinrichtung in einem Winkel unterhalb der Windenergieanlage, der normale Flugverkehr ist jedoch nach wie vor noch in der Lage, das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung zu erkennen.In the wind power plant according to the invention, a cover is formed below the flashing signal device, which prevents the flashing device in a particular cone (seen from the flight lighting device) from the ground from the side of the wind power plant from being visible. The cone preferably has a width of at least 45 °, but preferably 90-150 ° or above to over 180 ° (horizontal). Such a cover prevents the view of the Flight lighting device at an angle below the wind turbine, however normal air traffic is still able to recognize the light of the flight lighting device.
Wenn die Abdeckung darüber hinaus eine verspiegelte Fläche ist und insbesondere auch noch parabolisch ausgebildet ist, so erscheint hierdurch das Blinken verstärkt und für den Flugverkehr leichter sichtbar.If the cover is also a mirrored surface and, in particular, is also parabolic, this makes the blinking appear more pronounced and more easily visible to air traffic.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung wird die Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung auch gerade im Gebiet von Wohnanlagen nicht mehr als lästig empfunden und Lichtstörungen der Wohnbevölkerung werden vermieden.With the device according to the invention, the flight lighting device is no longer perceived as a nuisance, particularly in the area of residential complexes, and light disturbances to the residential population are avoided.
Je nach Höhe der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung bedeutet schon ein Winkel von 150° oder mehr, dass vom Erdboden aus gesehen in einem Abstand von 0 bis 2000 m, bevorzugt nur bis 1000 m, das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung nicht mehr zu sehen ist. Damit wird insbesondere das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung in angrenzenden Wohngebieten nicht mehr als Belastung empfunden.Depending on the height of the flight lighting device, an angle of 150 ° or more means that when viewed from the ground at a distance of 0 to 2000 m, preferably only up to 1000 m, the light of the flight lighting device can no longer be seen. In particular, the light of the flight lighting device in adjacent residential areas is no longer perceived as a burden.
Die Erfindung ist nachstehend an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.

Figur 3 a, b, c, d und e verschiedene Ausführungsformen einer erfindungsgemäßen Windenergieanlage.Figure 3 a, b, c, d and e different embodiments of a wind turbine according to the invention.
Die Fig. 1 zeigt die Draufsicht auf eine Windenergieanlage 1 , bestehend aus einem Turm und einem darauf gelagerten Maschinenhaus 2 sowie dem Rotor 3 der Windenergieanlage und der Maschinenhausverkleidung (Gondel) 4. Wie in Fig. 2 zu se- hen ist, ist auf der Gondel eine Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung 5 ausgebildet, die durch eine entsprechende Steuerung (nicht dargestellt) zum zeitweisen oder beständigen Blinken veranlasst wird. Unterhalb der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung ist eine Abdeckung 6 ausgebildet, die verhindert, dass das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung in einem Bereich seitlich der Windenergieanlage vom Erdboden sichtbar ist. Dieser Bereich kann 2000 m oder mehr seitlich der Windenergieanlage betragen (je nach Standort), wobei es regelmäßig ausreicht, wenn der Bereich, innerhalb dessen das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung nicht zu sehen ist, etwa 1000 m (vom Erdboden aus) neben der Windenergieanlage beträgt.FIG. 1 shows the top view of a wind energy installation 1, consisting of a tower and a machine house 2 mounted thereon, as well as the rotor 3 of the wind energy installation and the machine house cladding (nacelle) 4. As can be seen in FIG. 2, FIG Gondola a flight lighting device 5 is formed, which by an appropriate control (not shown) for temporary or permanent Blinking is initiated. A cover 6 is formed below the flight lighting device, which prevents the light of the flight lighting device from being visible in an area to the side of the wind power plant from the ground. This area can be 2000 m or more to the side of the wind turbine (depending on the location), although it is regularly sufficient if the area within which the light of the flight lighting device cannot be seen is approximately 1000 m (from the ground) next to the wind turbine.
Die Form der abgedeckten Fläche kann durch eine entsprechende Form der Abdeckung bzw. Gondel vorbestimmt werden. Besteht beispielsweise die Abdeckung aus einer großen kreisförmigen Scheibe, so ist in einem kegelförmigen Bereich unterhalb der Scheibe das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung nicht sichtbar und je nach dem Durchmesser der Scheibe ist die abgedeckte Fläche größer (Anstieg des Kegelwinkels). Wenn die Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung in einer parabolförmigen (Fig. 3a) oder kastenförmigen (Fig. 3c) Abdeckung liegt, kann der abgedeckte Win- kel bis zu 180° (bezogen auf den Kegel) betragen, d.h. dann wird Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung praktisch unterhalb der Horizontalen, bezogen auf die Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung, nicht mehr sichtbar. Ein so großer Winkel wird jedoch regelmäßig kaum benötigt, da die Windenergieanlagen ohnehin oft an höheren, also exponierten Stellen stehen und die darum liegenden Gebäude deutlich unterhalb der Höhe der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung der Windenergieanlage liegen.The shape of the covered area can be predetermined by a corresponding shape of the cover or nacelle. If, for example, the cover consists of a large circular disk, the light of the flight lighting device is not visible in a conical area below the disk and, depending on the diameter of the disk, the area covered is larger (increase in the cone angle). If the flight lighting device is in a parabolic (Fig. 3a) or box-shaped (Fig. 3c) cover, the covered angle can be up to 180 ° (related to the cone), i.e. then light of the flight lighting device is practically no longer visible below the horizontal, based on the flight lighting device. Such a large angle, however, is rarely needed, since the wind turbines are often located at higher, i.e. exposed, locations and the buildings around them are significantly below the height of the flight lighting system of the wind turbine.
Beträgt also der Abdeckungswinkel etwa 160 bis 170° (bezogen auf den Kegel), ist das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung in einem Bereich von etwa 500 - 2000 m seitlich von der Windenergieanlage nicht mehr sichtbar, gleichzeitig ist aber das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung für den gesamten Flugverkehr wie bisher ohne weiteres sichtbar.So if the coverage angle is about 160 to 170 ° (based on the cone), the light of the flight lighting device is no longer visible in a range of about 500 - 2000 m to the side of the wind turbine, but at the same time the light of the flight lighting device is for all air traffic as so far easily visible.
Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, die Abdeckung der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung so auszubilden, dass stets nur der gleiche Bereich in einem bestimmten seitlichen Bereich der Windenergieanlage abgedeckt ist. Wenn diese Abdeckung ortsfest ausgebildet ist oder motorisch nachstellbar ist (bei Drehung der Gondel um den Dreh- punkt), wird also stets nur der gleiche Bereich seitlich der Windenergieanlage unabhängig vom Azimutwinkel der Windenergieanlage abgedeckt. Wie die Fig. 3a - 3d zeigen, sind verschiedene Variationen für die Abdeckung denkbar. Bestimmend für die Abdeckung ist dabei die Lage des äußeren Randes 7 der Abdeckung 8.In principle, it is also possible to design the cover of the flight lighting device in such a way that only the same area is always covered in a certain lateral area of the wind power installation. If this cover is designed to be stationary or can be adjusted by a motor (when the nacelle rotates around the pivot point), only the same area to the side of the wind energy installation is always covered, regardless of the azimuth angle of the wind energy installation. Like Figures 3a - 3d show, different variations for the cover are conceivable. The position of the outer edge 7 of the cover 8 is decisive for the cover.
Je höher dieser äußere Rand gezogen wird, um so größer ist der Abdeckungswinkel und desto größer ist auch die Entfernung zur Windenergieanlage, innerhalb derer das Licht der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung nicht mehr sichtbar ist.The higher this outer edge is drawn, the greater the coverage angle and the greater the distance from the wind power installation within which the light from the flight lighting device is no longer visible.
Da der störende Einfluss des Lichtes der Flugbefeuerungseinrichtung jedoch mit dem Abstand zur Windenergieanlage abnimmt, wäre es regelmäßig ausreichend, wenn eine "Abschattungsentfernung" durch die Abdeckung erreicht wird, die 1500 bis 3000 m oder deutlich weniger beträgt. However, since the disruptive influence of the light of the flight lighting device decreases with the distance from the wind power installation, it would normally be sufficient if a "shading distance" was achieved through the cover, which is 1500 to 3000 m or significantly less.
